WALL OF WORDS

The Wall of Words provides a publication showcase for students studying in the suite of English creative writing courses. Writers of fiction, memoir, creative nonfiction, and poetry select poems

and prose excerpts that represent their voices to the broader campus audience.

The CURCA event gives faculty an opportunity to work with students on

selecting, editing, and presenting their very best, and in the process

create a twice-yearly anthology of student creative writing. 

FACULTY SPONSORS:
Professor Michael Filas (English)
Professor Leah Nielsen (English)
Professor Becky Olander (English)
Professor George Layng (English) 
Professor Beverly Army Williams (English)
Professor David Champoux (Holyoke Community College)
